We are just back from a two week stay at Orange Grove Residence, with our two teenage daughters, and have had a wonderful time. The accommodation feels extremely quiet and relaxing; however, it is only a 5 minutes’ drive to Silves, the nearest town. The location of this villa is perfect if you want to travel around Portugal with your hire car. It was also easy to locate on our drive there from the airport. A major benefit is parking underneath the accommodation, in the hot midday sun this is a god send as it kept the car much cooler.
It has two shared pools, a toddler/young child rectangular one which gradually increases in depth up to 1m and a large round 1.6m deep pool, both are salt water which I have to say I hadn’t realised. My youngest daughter who literally spent all her time at the accommodation in the pool has eczema and every time we have been away it flares up because of the chlorine, however not this time, no flareups at all. We all enjoyed the beautiful views around the pool, it made for an incredibly relaxing pool experience. We had a few walks around the grounds and amongst the trees. The accommodation was spotless, beautifully presented, and had everything we could possibly need. Filipe had even left us a welcome basket. We have stayed in many self-catering villas throughout the years, and I can honestly say this was by far the best we have experienced. The quality is second to none and Filipe is the most genuine and perfect host. Thank you Filipe.
